The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock part # C16210 and Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr part # C16220 are very similar, but not the same. The shaft is a bit longer on the EZr model so it won't work correctly if used on the Double Lock. view full answer...

The Curt # C16070 it the 5th wheel hitch that will fit ON the bed of your GMC and attach to the optional factory installed puck system in the bed. As long as your GMC has the prep package, the # C16070 is all you will need.

The center sections are different on the Curt Double Lock part # C607-604 and EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch part # C611-624 for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500. The Curt Double Lock has multiple slots for the safety chain u-bolts and the EZr does not so if you look under the hitch then you should be able to tell which you have. view full answer...
Though the Air Lift # AL57538 and the Firestone # F2709 both have a 7,500 pound load capacity, lifetime warranty, will work with an in bed hitch, and are made in the U.S.A., I do prefer the Firestone.
Reason being, the air bags for the # F2709 are 4 ply, whereas the air bags on the # AL57538 are 2 ply. This gives the bags more durability and a longer lifespan. Other than some bracketry differences, this is the deciding factor for me.

For your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali DRW 4x4, I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2709 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538 for two reasons. The first reason is that the Air Lift kit requires drilling into the frame (minimal) whereas the Firestone kit is completely drill free. The second reason is in regards to the construction of the airbags. The Firestone airbags use a crimp rolled design which is... view full answer...
The Curt # C16024 fifth wheel legs you mentioned fit the A series hitches from 20k and up; the A20 # C16540, A25 # C16580, and A30 # C16590. They're technically designed for the A30 because of the legs's 30,000 pound rating but they still fit the other two. With that in mind they will not, however, increase the weight capacity of the other 2 hitches.
The # CU53FR legs fit all of the same hitches plus the Q Series and E Series hitches as well. These legs even fit the A30 however they are... view full answer...
The highest capacity B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch available for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed would be part # BWRVK3715 which has a 25K capacity.
For a higher capacity alternative, the Curt # C36WR PowerRide has a 30K capacity. The hitch has a actuating handle that's specially designed to be comfortable to use. The hitch also has an integrated teflon lube plate, so you wouldn't need to use any grease on the skid. Both features aren't found on the Companion.
Both hitches have dampened... view full answer...
Both of the hitches you asked about have some great features. They both have dual jaws for better king-pin contact, and both have the same towing and vertical load limit capacity.
There are a few differences between the hitches. The hitch height of the B&W # BWRVK3700 is 16-3/4 - 18-3/4 inches where the Curt # C16530-16025 is 13 to 17-inches. The Curt has a 10-year warranty on the hitch and limited lifetime on the legs. The B&W hitch has a lifetime warranty. The jaws on the B&W hitch... view full answer...
Difference in pricing between products can have a variety of factors like what our cost is for them, how popular they are, and competitor's pricing so there really isn't just one reason why pricing is different.
With that being said, the Curt Kit # C60692 is pretty popular but I think they have pushed their marketing into the OEM sector so people have just heard their name more.
I personally like the style of the B&W Kit # BWGNXA2061 better because the release handle doesn't sit on top... view full answer...
For the best 5th wheel hitch available for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3710. The Companion features 1" thick dual jaws for a sturdy connection that inhibits movement which results in a safer and quieter ride.
It has has a non-binding cam-action latch handle which allows you to easily release the jaws, even on unlevel terrain. This hitch has a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs. If you need a higher capacity, the # BWRVK3715 is also... view full answer...
The TruXedo Pro X15 Soft Tonneau Cover # TX1472801 is a slightly upgraded version of the TruXedo Lo Pro Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX572801. Both of these covers fit your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8 foot bed, and the differences are in the profile of the cover as well as the make of the cover.
The Pro X15 has a lower profile than the Lo Pro, sitting only 1/2 inch above the bed rails, while the Lo Pro is about an inch above the rails, or just under. The difference is that the lower-profile... view full answer...
Though the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541 and the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 that are designed to fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 are both American made and rated up to 7,500 pounds of load leveling capacity, there is one difference that pushes me to the Firestone option. That being the durability of the actual bags.
The Air Lift air bags have 2 layers while the Firestone bags have 4 layers. This means the Firestone bags... view full answer...
I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. Both brands make a great quality air bag kit. Personally I prefer the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2709. The air bags themselves are known to be more durable than others. They can hold more PSI (150) than other brands as well.
You will also want to go with a heavy duty onboard compressor. I recommend the Firestone Air Command # F2219. A dual path compressor will allow each bag to be filled independently, which will be ideal for a truck... view full answer...
For me the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C36WR does appear to be the best value. The built in lube plates help to ensure that you protect the hitch from getting marred up when connecting to the 5th wheel. And unlike some other manufactures the mounting location for the hardware in a good location. I would recommend keeping a spare set or 2 of the Wear Plates # C52WR in the event that they become damaged since they will not be as easily sourced as a standard lube plate.

I prefer the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541 over the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 for your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500. The Air Lift has in internal jounce spring which I find greatly helps to reduce the bouncing effect you get when towing heavy loads on bumpy roads.

Between the Curt # C60692 and B&W # BWGNXA2061 that will fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 with the factory pucks/prep package, I do prefer the B&W. Though both the Curt and B&W are rated up to 30,000 pounds and will fit your truck perfectly, the B&W is American made and I find it easier to use. The larger locking and unlocking handle moves up and down quickly and easier, even in cold weather and gloved hands. It is a little more expensive, but I think it's worth it. view full answer...
The differences between the Firestone Ride Rite # F2613 and the Red Label # F2709 for your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab Long Bed is the air pressure and max weight capacity.
The Ride-Rite # F2613 are rated for 5,000lbs and 100 PSI, where the Red Label # F2709 are rated for 7,500lbs and 150 PSI.
Since you have only 2280lbs of pin weight there is zero reason to go with the heavy duty bags, as you are well within the range of the # F2613 so that's what I recommend.

Though both the Curt A20 # C84FR and Q20 # C57FR that are designed to fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed with the factory pucks are rated for the same weight capacities (20k towing and 5k vertical load), there are a few key differences between them that I have listed below. Both will also use the same leg system, so I will only be referring to the heads.

It is very interesting that you are experiencing chucking and jarring while using the Curt Q25 # C16069 with your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500. This is actually a really nice 5th wheel hitch and has received great reviews from our customers. The only things that I can really think of is that the built-in cushioning may be wearing down or that the jaws aren't completely closing so I would start by checking those out. If you have a cushioned pin box it could be counteracting the cushioning on the... view full answer...
The main difference between the G2 # BAK226133 and the MX4 # BAK448133 is that the MX4 can remain latched in position when latching the tailgate. With the G2 the cover must be unlatched to latch the tailgate. This can become kind of a pain if you're leaving the cover in position for an extended period, but constantly at the tailgate. The G2 also has a glossy finish on it, while the MX4 has more of a matte finish and is generally a more sturdy cover when it comes to holding up over time.
